ADJUSTABLE HANGER FOR ELECTRIC HAIR CLIPPERS Filegi Jan. 22, 1940 fwvenibr Patented Sept. 3, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ADJUSTABLE HANGER FOR ELECTRIC HAIR CLIPPERS 2 Claims.

The invention relates to the manufacture of a metal adjustable hanger with projections or hooks at the bottom thereof on which to hang electric hair clippers used in barber shops and beauty shops; and objects of the invention are first, to provide a hanger which can be fastened to a wall, case or other fiat surface on which to hang electric hair clippers; and second, to provide a hanger which by means of a slot between the plates thereof may be fastened on an electric cord and thus suspended from the ceiling or other overhead object and on which to hang electric hair clippers.

The invention is constructed of three metal plates and is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 represents a front View of the hanger; Figure 2 represents a side or edgewise view of the hanger; Figure 3 represents an end view of the bottom of the hanger; and Figure 4 represents a back View of the hanger.

Two of the plates are made exactly alike except one is the right hand and the other the left hand plate. They are shown as 2 and 3 on Figure 1. The plates are made of inch sheet steel, 4% inches long and 1 inch wide, the lower inch portion of the plates being cut-off on the side toward the center of Figure l for a width of inch, leaving at the outer edge of the plates an offset inch long and A inch wide. This offset is bent forward and upward so as to form a 45 degree angle with the main portion of the plate and thus forming a hook at the outer edge and bottom of each plate. The upper end of the two plates are tapered toward the center of Figure 1 and rounded at the top ends. A view of these hooks from the side or edge is shown at the bottom of Figure '2. A bottom view of said hooks is also shown at 2 and 3 in Figure 3. 4a of Figure 1 indicates a hole through which by means of a screw the hanger may be fastened to a wall, case or other fiat surface. la, lb, lo, and Id on Figure 1 represent holes through which by means of screws or bolts the two plates above described may be fastened to the third plate hereafter described.

The third plate is made of twenty weight galvanized iron 2% inches long and 2 inches wide with a A,, inch groove lengthwise along the center of the plate, the plate being bent so as to leave this groove. A bottom or edgewise View of this plate with the slot is shown at 5 in Figure 3. A back view of the plate is shown in Figure 4. It has four slotted bolt or screw holes, for adjustments, shown at la, lb, 1c, 1d in Figure 4, two in each side of the groove, two being near the upper end, two near the lower ends of the plate. This plate is also tapered to a rounding upper end so as to fit to that of plates 2 and 3 of Figure 1.

This plate is used to hold the first two plates (which may be called the hook plates) in place by use of small stub bolts inserted through the slotted holes of this plate which are threaded into the holes in the hook plates at la, lb, la and Id, Figure 1.

The third plate above described (5 on Figures 2, 3, and 4) can be applied and fastened to either the front or the back side of the hook plates (2 and 3 on Figure l) When this plate is fastened to the front side of the other two, the invention can be used as a stationary hanger, which can be fastened to a wall, casing, wallcase or other flat surface by means of one small screw through the hole shown at to on Figure 1 and 4b on Figure 4.

When the connection of the electrical drop cord of the hair clippers is overhead, the drop cord is placed in the groove on the third plate, and this plate is then applied and fastened to the back side of the hook plates 2 and 3, Figure l, forming a clamp on the cord, and this constitutes a swinging hanger supported by the drop cord of the clippers.

Hair clippers have projected lower plates at the clipping end. The clippers are inserted between the hooks on the hanger and the projected plates then rest securely on the hooks. Adjustments in the width of the hanger can be made by slightly loosening the screws or stub bolts and spreading the lower ends of the hook plates, and at .the same time keeping the upper ends together. The spreading is allowed for by the slotted holes, la, lb, 10, and 1d in the third plate 5, Figure 4. The adjustments can be made to fit any Width clippers.

6a and 61), Figure 2, and 6a, 0, and 6b, d, Figure 3, indicate the heads of the screws or stub bolts.

I claim:

1. The combination of two metal plates, with hooks at the bottom, and a third plate with a groove or indentation lengthwise along the center, fastened together by screws or stub bolts, through round holes in the first twoplates and slotted holes for width adjustment in the third,

to be fastened to a wall or other flat surface by means of a screw, forming a practical and convenient hanger for hair clippers, for use particularly in barber shops, and beauty shops.

2. The combination of two metal plates, with hooks at the bottom, and a third plate with a; groove or indentation lengthwise along the center, fastened together by screws or stub bolts, through round holes in the first two plates and slotted holes for width adjustment in the third, to be clamped by means of said groove on the drop cord of hair clippers, forming a suspended hanger for hair clippers, for use particularly in WILLIAM W.
